Sometimes you don't want to wait until a method completes. You can use a closed
channel to return immediately even if no methods are ready:

#### filter(callbackfn[, thisArg]) -> Channel
`callbackfn` should be a function that accepts an argument and returns a value
that is coercible to the Boolean values `true` or `false`. `filter` calls
`callbackfn` once for each value in the channel and constructs a new channel of
all the values for which `callbackfn` returns true.
If a `thisArg` parameter is provided, it will be used as the `this` value for
each invocation of `callbackfn`. If it is not provided, `undefined` is used
instead.

Please [submit an issue](https://github.com/NodeGuy/channel/issues/new) if you
would like me to make `Channel` more `Array`-like (e.g., by adding another
`Array` method).
